Reading & Researching

Over the weekend I listened to the full audiobook of the book 'The Call of the Wild' by Jack London, my chosen narrative for the brief. For the first read through I focused more on the book rather then making notes on what's going on. I actually really enjoyed this book, it being really different to the Disney film adaptation. Where the Disney film went very sweet and loving, the book is darker and more realistic, really focusing on the grit of survival. 

Once I finished the book, I made simple notes and sketch from my initial thoughts. Writing the key moments I could remember, and initial product ideas from simply reading the book will give me a base to work off of, and research into. I will be rereading this book as to take some fleshed out and detailed notes from the narrative, but am happy with my understanding/knowledge for now.

The grey scale change between the prints below, for example, were beautiful and created an interestingly different atmosphere to the environment. Some of these dull prints I decided to keep and still sell, particularly after a few peers made compliments on their appearance. I decided to keep 4 in total, two of each roping design that match and are 'l...
